“Silence! The King is making his entrance!” Garrett Temple announced as he strutted into the locker room, shirtless. “Please make way for the King!” Vince Carter smiled. “You know, man, technically we’re all kings, since we play for the…” “SILENCE! Who talked while the King was talking? I do not remember giving anyone permission to…

The Kings commentators were making a big deal of Garrett Temple emerging from his recent slump, which made me wonder two things. The first thing I wondered is whether or not a role-player of Temple’s caliber is even able to have slumps, or if dips in production are to be expected of players of limited…

“That,” Garrett Temple announced as he walked into the Kings’ locker room after the game, “Is how you take over a game of basketball.” He ignored the cold stares of his teammates as he flumped down at his seat and began removing his shoes. “Uh, you missed the game-tying free throw and then we lost,”…

I don’t suppose we’ll ever know why exactly the Kings decided to “rest” Cousins, Gay, and McLemore for this game. It’s a little bit too early to tank so blatantly but anything is possible with the Kings organization. With two big-time scorers out and one small-time scorer out, this game afforded chances to players on…

One of the puzzling things that the Kings keep doing every offseason is overpaying “quality”, high-character role players.

This is the third straight twenty-point game for one Garrett Temple, who, prior to this streak, had never scored twenty points in the NBA except during shootaround. Are we sure that Temple hasn’t stolen the basketball talents of teammate Otto Porter ala the Monstars? Think about it. It makes sense. When was the last time…

Garrett Temple lay in his bed, fuming with anger as he stared at his iPhone screen. He and performed a search on YouTube for his name, expecting to see perhaps some clips of his college days or his few NBA dunks. What he found was ostensibly better, but also much worse. “Career high 18 points?…

I’m pretty sure the Wizards commentators are the least-excited commentators in all of professional sports. I understand that Garrett Temple scoring a career-high largely by undertaking crazy drives to the basket is not that exciting, but you could at least mention the fact that he has never before scored this many points in an NBA-sanctioned…

Garrett “Legends of the Hidden” Temple has surprised me by sticking around in the league as long as he has. He convinced the Wizards to give him a multi-year contract a few years ago, and at this point, it wouldn’t shock me if he convinced them to give him another one once his current contract…
